kenny. Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I have for sale a Banks Lotus Europa 47, the car is just about as new. It has a Vauxhall 2ltr 16v fitted with Jenvey throttle bodies and MBE managment system. Colour is Norfolk mustard and paint job cost £6000 alone. Everything on car is new, and extras include, fully adjustable suspension, split rim 15" minilites, space frame chassis, brand new Lotus trim, Elliot tacho, suede momo, perspex side opening windows. Car was factory built and has been shown at Lotus show at Donnington for last couple of years. Brutal sounding car with matching performance, I have a Vauxhall Caterham and performance is very similar, only Lotus doesn't mind going around corners. Lack of funds and empty wallet forces this regretted sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynicolson Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Kenny, any photos avqailable? and a price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny. Posted July 1, 2001 Author Share Posted July 1, 2001 Richard, Thanks for reply, I will email a couple of photo's for you later along with price, I think you'll be impressed.I was actually planning on selling the 7 and keeping this one, but to get anyhing like the price I needed on the 7, it meant taking off a lot of the expensive bits I'd fitted over the last couple of years, and selling them seperatly...then putting the car back to standard (HPC)....this way is easier!

I reply to every thread Posted July 2, 2001 Share Posted July 2, 2001 If I had anything approaching the money I'd buy it. These are fantastic cars. A friend had his done by Banks. It was about no 3 of the 2.0XE conversions that they did. Park it next to a Lambo and watch the owner get pi**ed off as the Lotus gets all the attention! Do I get commission Kenny?

kenny. Posted July 2, 2001 Author Share Posted July 2, 2001 Matthew, Thanks for comments, main thing that annoys people is that car is tax-exempt and costs £195 to insure on classic policy. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
